, I feel that most people do not understand this movie, and the main reason is their lack of understanding of Western logical thinking.
First of all, many people are asking why the shots of the movie keep shaking, because it is a way of filming. Similar to the shooting method of a documentary, in order to increase the immersive feeling.
Secondly, the misreading of the title of the film, the Chinese name "Spiritual Detective", Chinese people think it is about supernatural ability, but it is not the case, the male protagonist also said that I do not have any psychic ability. I just have the intuitive open-hook version, he means. Everything I do is based on logical inference, just like Sherlock, I see you, I see a lot of information, but Sherlock can tell you how I came to the conclusion, but the male protagonist can't, the male protagonist only knows the conclusion, The inference black box is not disclosed to the public like consumer psychology, and sometimes it is difficult for even the person to realize why he made such a decision. As far as I can tell, the literal translation of the English name "solace" means comfort. Combined with the movie, it is about the dignity and comfort of the dying. For the two protagonists, the discussion is about what is true love.
When it comes to love and the plot, many people begin to think that the plot is messy, repeatedly inserting some incomprehensible scenes, starting to think about it at every turn, and suddenly inserting horror scenes to strengthen the high.
I took the first meeting of the two main characters as an example. At the bar, the male lead B played by Colin suddenly appeared and said a lot of confessions, while the male lead A played by Anthony said nothing. B said, you don't have to think about it, I have thought about all the possibilities, no matter what, I can get out safely, so please don't say a word. However, A still didn't say a word, and B became anxious and said, "You're wrong. It's different from what I imagined. You shouldn't have such behavior. I didn't consider such a situation to happen." At this moment, B turned his head and glanced at the police anxiously. A immediately threw an ashtray at B, and B yelled directly. He had a gun and escaped smoothly. The whole process was like two people playing chess. A kept holding his pawns, thinking about every possibility of the emergency, and then seized a chance to fight back, and finally was overwhelmed by the powerful B. This way of thinking of the game is permeated throughout the film. Every time A makes an attempt, he hopes to be ahead of A and wants to control the situation, but he can't. A's hesitant to say anything, most of the time it is because he doesn't know, if he says it will lead to the imaginary ending, or if he doesn't say it will lead to the imaginary ending. If you watch the film carefully, he has tried a number of ways to change the ending, but it never works.
When it comes to love, the great love that the film talks about is to end life at the best moment, not beg for mercy after all the pain. This kind of logic has a sense of rationality without any contradiction, and many people have been brainwashed and taken away. I agree with this point of view. I have seen many people say that this is the propaganda of the concept of euthanasia. I don't care about that. I am only responsible for the film. In reality, you shouldn't bring your opinions into the film. In the film, Anthony euthanized his daughter and said before his close friend, "Although I am going to die, I want to have every minute and every second. Time is too precious." Now, I still have so many things to do, how I wish I could live a little longer. Two different thoughts are pulling john, like the light side and the dark side of the force.
At the end of the film, john's wife said to john, u have changed. This change is meaningful, and the last scene in the subway makes john transform. Many people don't understand what this means.
Unfortunately, I just watched the British drama "No One Survives" before. The two stories are similar in purpose, and they also gained a legacy of will from those killed by themselves, a firm belief. The scar on B's head matches the scar caused by A at the end, and this conclusion can basically be drawn:
John has fallen into the dark side of the Force and can wait for the sequel.
That's about it.
